[@Sozakh]

The most instructional and beneficial chess channel in the world! Love this channel!

[@pawn4129]

This game quickly peter-ed out to a win!

[@jimgeary]

After the game, Svidler said he had prepared for the Rubinstein so was out of his official prep by move 4.

[@abhishekkj3662]

That's not believable... Every GM knows the classical line ND Qb6 line in particular.

[@oliverangermuller9827]

Thanks for the analysis. You should create a "Split Rooks Shirt" :-) Joking aside, this is a really good principle one should always bare in mind.

[@SAsportsCareers]

When I play my games and I have to split my rooks, I always think about this "Split Rooks"

[@bunhead8]

as soon as the title was "split rooks" I knew what you were going to say, lol - advice I heed always, thanks!

[@tennisblood]

Really liked Peter's play here. Great win! Superb understanding of the position!

[@eyeofhorus1301]

Best game I've seen in quite a while

[@KaisarAnvar]

Wonderful and insightful commentary, thank you so much!!! My favorite chess channel of all time.

[@n20games52]

Really entertaining game. Thanks for sharing it and for the excellent rook examples.

[@johannesb9681]

Nice video. This round was a real thriller to watch live

[@OnBelayClimbOn]

Thanks GM King and nice game from GM Svidler what a beauty!

[@pawankulkarni3403]

The f6 bishop was such a monster , covering so many critical squares

[@mixolydian2010]

Really enjoyed the game, i always root for Svidler he's a funny guy and brilliant at chess too. Cheers Daniel.

[@Detherocable]

Fantastic play by Svidler! Thank you for the incisive analysis, GM King!

[@irradiatedbadger]

octopus knight and stingray bishop!

[@irradiatedbadger]

thanks!

[@pierremontz2628]

Bravo!

[@waterskym]

after the stingray bishop there might be a thunderbird queen for a theme change

[@penearth]

Stingray Bishop !! Brilliant

[@JJ-kl7eq]

Don’t forget that isolated pawns are often not good. They are split from supporting other pawns, and easily hunted down by hungry enemy pieces seeking them out. My mom taught me this, a strategy she called split p snoop.

[@samwamper9393]

A “Stingray Bishop”.. love it! Let’s make this a thing! Coined by Maestro King! #stingraybishop #octopusknight

[@briangarrett2427]

Why didn't the bishop take on a3?

[@Shockprowl]

Stingray Bishop! Brilliant.

[@sushan1051]

Read my name..lol

[@saptarshighosh1998]

Bishops like laser machines !!!!!!!!

[@pawankulkarni3403]

Yeah....the split rooks😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@leedsfanalways]

Awesome as always. Just a shame your Brentford beat my Leeds!

[@rojokongen]

Stingray bishop! :-D

[@johnkom2339]

Okay the rooks are split but that usually does happen when the king is trapped in the center! So he could just as well have named the video - Danger, uncastled king!

[@matchesmalone3145]

George Meier is my favorite player

[@vagabond7684]

@Danielking Please do the analysis of Harikrishna vs ding liren, shenzen masters 2019

[@PowerPlayChess]

If you give me a few extra hours in the day, I would be delighted to oblige.

[@OLi7ER77]

Probably a silly question, but on move 14. a3 ..., why is 14. ... Bxa3 not an option?

[@terrabitic7090]

Every time I see Meier play the French defence, he loses. Maybe time for a switch-up?

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

Watch more of his games not merely the highlight games. The French makes for some explosive cautionary tales but Meier is fairly solid.

[@pierolocatelli8037]

I am only a 2300 but I have bb4 rb3! in my files and i think white has an advantage. I don' t know if Meier think black has the equality. If I remember well it is interesting if black plays a6 instead of exf5 then fxe6 should be nearly winning. Hours of analysis

[@jousif21]

to be honest, this is the most suicidal chess strategy i've seen>

[@proflaxis6968]

Its no use crying over spilt rooks. gg Svidler on the roof.

[@jousif21]

Mieir doesn't seem to understand the concept of the initiative Does he have delusions of grandeur; the players are clearly tired

[@Pipiopy]

cremita

[@ima7mad]

when will humanity give up the French I wonder.

[@haroldwhitney6130]

Lol. Ok ok split rooks are bad.

As a lifelong Leeds Utd fan, I'm afraid I am going to have to unsubscribe, cancel my support and take up backgammon instead ;-)
